In these first four chapters, we provide the background you will need for the rest of the book. You will learn first about the ways that mental health practitioners and researchers have thought about and defined psychopathology traditionally (Chapter 1) and also about an alternative approach (Chapter 2) that solves some of the problems identified in the traditional approaches. The approach covered in Chapter 2—called developmental psychopathology—will carry us through the remaining chapters in this book. Throughout this entire book, we will highlight how studying psychopathology goes hand‐in‐hand with studying normal development, or the absence of psychopathology. For that reason, in this introductory part of the book we also include a chapter on normal development (Chapter 3) and a chapter highlighting the essential role of caregiving relationships (Chapter 4), for context. Specifically, in this part of the book, we will cover the following topics:

 Chapter 1. Traditional Approaches to Psychopathology

 Chapter 2. Developmental Psychopathology

 Chapter 3. Normal Development

 Chapter 4. Insecure Attachment and Related Difficulties
